    An official TechNote is now available on this issue. The full Security Bulletin will be published (with the same information) through the PSIRT channels shortly.

    Tech Note: Log4j Vulnerability ( CVE-2021-44228 ) in IBM Informix workaround

    Basically it affects the latest  IHQ versions. Workaround is very simple to implement.

    Thank you to Informix Development for working on this.

    Hi!

    Be careful, because the solution (-Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true) is out of date.

    Look at: https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/: Without updating to log4j 2.17.0, it doesn´t help in all cases.

    Stefan:

    Why is -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true out of date?  This is a mitigation not a remediation.  Log4J2 version 2.17 didn't exist three days ago.

    -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true works to mitigate the issues until Developement can build a new release of software with Log4J 2.17.0.

    Because there are now published exploits for which this property does not help
